Acer just demoed its Liquid smartphone featuring Android 1.6 (Donut) and a lightning fast processor. The specs say the processor comes in at 768MHz, but it might be tuned to run as fast as 1Ghz, making it the fastest Android smartphone to date.
It’s basically a finely tuned Acer A1 that’s running Google’s Android mobile OS, but it also has a simplified form factor. It also has an 800 x 480 WVGA capacitive touchscreen for plenty of viewing area.
It’s amazing how quickly netbook manufacturers and other fringe hardware companies are getting into the mobile market with the Android platform. Hopefully this drives prices down on these high-end devices enough to where everyone will be able to afford them.
It’s also exciting to see processor speeds continuing to skyrocket in these devices. A few years ago, my HTC Wizard ran at something like 300MHz and while that’s as fast as my first computer, we’ve seen that number more than triple in a few short years.
